When trying to setup auto type when using Username and Passwords Fields, Currently the form submission cannot be complete it is required to type in a pincode from an RSA token.

Current Autotype Pattern {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{TAB} Then we have to manually enter the pin number and hit the enter key.

The idea is to use the {PICKCHARS:Password:C=6} to prompt for the 6 charafcters from the RSA token then finsih with an {ENTER} press with the pattern looking like this
{TAB}{TAB}{USERNAME}{ENTER}{PICKCHARS:Password:C=6}{ENTER}

It appears that the PICKCHARS placeholder only works when using by itself. I have tryied multle test using the documentation loacated here https://keepass.info/help/base/placeholders.html

    There is no bug. The sequence that you posted above performed as intended when I tested it.

    When the sequence was executed, a dialog was displayed that showed the password field contents (hidden) and an input field. One could select 6 characters based on position in the password, or type any 6 characters into the input field. As soon as the 6th character was entered the full keystroke sequence was typed, including the 6 characters entered into the dialog.

    KeePass auto-type has no way to know the RSA token, however it is possible to type the RSA token into the input field of the pickchars dialog.

    If you need additional help with the {PICKCHARS} placeholder please post your question in the Help forum.
